Article Synopsis
- The trial aims to assess the effectiveness of pelvic floor rehabilitation in preventing low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) in patients who undergo sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgery.
- The study involves 174 participants randomly assigned to either a rehabilitation group (receiving pelvic floor therapy) or a control group (receiving standard care) before closing their defunctioning stoma, with outcomes measured at multiple time points to track LARS severity and quality of life.
- The conclusion suggests that pelvic floor rehabilitation, including anal exercises and biofeedback, could significantly improve symptom management and quality of life for these patients, with an emphasis on safety and minimal risks involved.
